WINDOW-BEAU FASTEN ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,285, dated December 11, 1888. Application filed July 2, 1888. Serial No. 278,880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, JOHN MOTT, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a \Viudow-Stop and Sash-Holder, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to enable a person to put the stops on a window or remove them without the use of tools, so the sash can easily be removed, and to press the stops against the sash with sufficient force to prevent rattling and to keep out the wind, and to hold the sash up or down in any place desired, or to relieve the pressure, so the sash can easily be moved up or down.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a portion of a window-casing with its outside stop and sash and inside stop with my holder applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the inside stop with a hole through it ready to receive the holder. Figs. 3, 1t, and 5 are detail views of parts which enter into the construction of my device. Figs. (1 and 7 are detail views of mmlifications of parts shown in Figs.

and 4..

The holder is composed of two metal plates, one sliding upon the other, one large screw, and small screws for fastening it to and combining it with the window-stop.

In Fig. 4, N represents the lower plate.

In Fig. 3, l I represents the upper plate.

In 5, J represents the large screw.

The lower plate, N, has an oval hole, I, through its centerlarge enough to receive the head of the screw J, and edges I turned up for the upper plate, ll, to slide between them, fitting them closely.

The upper plate, H, has a hole, L, through it, near the lower end, large enough to receive the head of screw J, and a slit, M, running from this hole at an angle with the sides of the plate and just wide enough to receive the screw J under the head, and the upper end of this plate is bent up for a handle, K.

A hole, F, made through the stop D, as shown in Fig. 2, same size as the hole Pin the lower plate, N, and the lower plate is then screwed to the stop ID with small screwsnvith the hole in the plate directly over the hole in the stop, so the screw J can be driven firmly in the window-casing and the stop slipped over the screw, allowing the screw to project through the stop. The stop is then slipped over the screw and the upper plate, I'l', slipped onto the lower plate and down, so that when the screw J is driven down the head of the screw will rest on the sides of the slit M and hold the stop firmly to the casing, but loose 6o enough to allow the stop to move to and from the sash as the plate H is slipped down and up. This is shown in Fig. 1, (,7 being the sash. The sides of the plates ll and N being parallel with the sides of the stop D, and the slit M being at an angle with the sides of the stop, and the screw J being fast in the casing with its head holding the plate ll down by resting on the sides of the slit M, it is evident that the plates with the stop attached must move to and from the sash as the upper plate is. slipped down and up, and by pressing the up per plate firmly down the sash G is forced against the outside stop, B, so as to prevent the sash from rattling and to keep out the wind, 7 5 and also to hold the sash up or down in any place desired. \Vhen it is desired to remove the stops in order to take out the sash, it is only necessary to draw up the upper plate and slip it off over the head of the screw J. The stop then comes off and the sash can be taken out over the screw, the screw remaining fast in the casing.

By referring to Figs. 6 and 7 it will be seen that the same object may also be accomplished by having a curved slit, W, through the upper plate, S, and attaching this plate to the lower plate, T, by a rivet at E, on which the upper plate turns. This rivet or turningpoint being near the end of the curved slit \V, where the large screw J enters the slit, and farther from the other end of the slit as the upper plate is turned down, the distance between the screw J and the turning-point E is increased, and thus the stop would be forced 5 against the sash, and when the plate S is turned up the stop would be drawn away from the sash.

Having thus described the nature of my invent-ion vha-t I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the perforated remade fast in the window-casing and project ing through the holes in the stop-head and base-plate, and the slide-plate H, having a hole, L, through which the head of the screw passes, and having a diagonal slit, M, 011 the sides of which the screw-head rests when the plate is pushed down and up between the turned edges of the base-plate, in the manner as and for the purpose described.
